Why hasn’t my game launched yet?

If your game hasn’t launched, fear not! It probably hasn’t reached the required amount of players yet or not all of your fellow commanders have officially Accepted Command of their units. When a few more players join up, or once everyone accpets their command, your game will start and we will notify you by email.

I’m having issues with the game, I don’t understand anything!!

A good place to start is the Game Manual and the Help Page If you’ve read both of these and you’re still having problems, there are plenty of experienced players in our Forums.

How does the payment system work?

The Campaign of 1863 allows players 1 free game at a time (meaning when your free game is over you can jump in another one). For players that can’t get enough Civil War Strategy Game action, we offer a tiered system that allows players to choose how many extra games they would like to play.

Are you guys still developing this game?

YES! We are a small 2 person team, developing this game on a part-time basis. We have big plans for The Campaign of 1863, and our little studio, but we have bills to pay in the meantime. So our development time is slow for now, but if C63 is as successful as we think it can be, you can count on a lot more from us.
